Leaker: Foldable 'iPhone Ultra' Will Feature Liquid Metal Hinge

We already have liquid kernel_task and WindowServer, so why not?

Funny how it’s always "the leaker known as Fixed Focus Digital’” but never “the leaker known as ‘Mark Gurman.’”

Apparently some leakers graduate into prophets.

I mean, there is a pretty big difference there.
Mark Gurman, like him or not, actually works for a journal, gets paid for what he does, has an entire multi billion dollar company backing him.
Meanwhile, all of the focus digitals are just random social media accounts that happen to get info slipped to them through the supply chain. That’s one of the reasons you almost never get software leaks from these types of accounts, only from places like the information or Bloomberg, whose journalist is Mark Gurman.

Hasn’t all of the latest reporting said that the foldable iPhone is basically John Ternus’ baby?
Meanwhile, Tim Cook has been focused on mostly the glasses?
That’s what all of the recent reports have all said.
And considering that he’s been the hardware chief for the last almost decade, it’s likely that his influence is all over the foldable in every aspect.

Exactly. He has way more influence on this device than Cook would even without the transition. They also don't transition CEO's over night. Ternus has been in the day to day mix for at least 12-18 months.

Before the AI storage/ram crisis, this was already gonna be expensive. I wonder how much worse it will be now.

If this turns out to be true, that's a slow burn of an investment.

I wouldn’t spend $2000 plus on a 1st generation product, maybe the 3rd generation.

Absolutely, anyone paying attention could have seen it coming from a mile away.
Both the iPhone Air and MacBook Neo launches were the Ternus show, he lead the teams that made them, he partially presented them, he did almost every single interview about them…
Anyone remember when the iPhone Air was presented and Apple was having journalists tried to bend it to prove how rigid and strong it was? Yeah, that was all Ternus.

The liquid hinge is going to be a major point of failure given how much the device will be opened and closed. Not a device for me but it should sell well.

Definitely not buying generation 1 of this product. Rather spend money on the 20th anniversary iPhone XX instead 📱
